The year 2022 will have for many been synonymous with a new beginning.
No more administrative red tape of the Covid-era, behind us (or almost) the mask on the train and on the plane, forgotten the anxieties of yesterday: the trip was able to resume with a vengeance.
Cocorico, our beautiful capital has even regained its place as world number 1 on the throne of tourist destinations.
Of course, all was not well.
The war in Ukraine, an umpteenth epidemic resumption as well as the crisis in the air transport came to play the spoilsports.
One thing is certain: our articles have taken on color, at the same time as the sector!
Among those that you have voted for this year, many dealt with your daily, practical concerns: the flights canceled in cascade this summer, the reopening of the borders (those of Morocco, in particular) but also the dates of school holidays and public holidays.
Some said a lot about our society like this epidemic of deadly selfies in Étretat.
Others were - on the surface - more futile, like this lost snake on a plane.
To start the year under good auspices and with healthy (re) readings, review of the hits of 2022.
Rather train...

Rest assured, we have also deciphered social issues such as the inexorable rise in prices or the contradictions of Generation Z.
